Carmelo Anthony Agrees To One-Year, $2.4M Deal With Rockets

Tuesday, 24 July, 2018

According to the report, Anthony's free agency won't happen before next week while the trade to the Hawks becomes official. Marc Stein reports that he will sign for $2.4 million, the veteran minimum. The three-team trade that will send him to Atlanta is now being held up by the Philadelphia 76ers, who are attempting to make another roster move before finalizing the deal. Atlanta, meanwhile, will waive Anthony and then pay him that contract in its entirety, as they are satisfied to get Dennis Schröder off the books and netted a protected first round pick in the process.

Anthony met with the Rockets in Las Vegas during Summer League. When the waivers clear, he will be able to sign with the team of his choice.

Once the trade is complete, the Hawks will reportedly release Anthony.

As part of the deal, Mike Muscala will go to Philadelphia from Atlanta, Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot will head from the Sixers to the Thunder, and Justin Anderson will land on the Hawks from the 76ers.
